Sony has unveiled its new 8-megapixel Cybershot DSC-T2 digital camera with a huge memory of 4GB, eliminating the need of carrying memory cards. Users can store up to 40,000 VGA-quality photos or 1,000 8-megapixel pictures.
The Cyber-shot DSC-T2 has a new look with a compact silver body; black LCD frame; and a sliding lens cover available in blue, green, pink, white or black colors. Its touch-panel LCD screen replaces small buttons with on-screen icons and a user-friendly interface to make camera operation fast and simple. You can touch the screen to select the subject you want to focus on (shooting mode) and where you want to zoom in (playback mode). It also has technologies such as face detection, optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200).
Using the Picture Motion Browser software, one can view images in chronological order or even can see them by naming a folder according to a particular event like birthdays or Sunday BBQs. Photos can also be moved to the camera’s “favorites” folder for easy access. In “favorites” folder, users can also arrange it in further six sub-folders. The "sharemark" folder can store those photos and videos deemed worthy for sharing beyond the camera onto the web.

The DSC-T2 camera is pre-loaded with Sony PMB Portable software that automatically runs when the device is connected to a compatible PC via the supplied USB cable. Users can also publish their photos and videos directly to photo sharing sites, such as Crackle, Flickr, Photobucket, Shutterfly and YouTube, using this software.
Sony's "smile shutter" function aims to make capturing informal portraits and family snapshots effortless. The function automatically detects and captures a person smiling without the need to press the shutter. If there are several people in the frame, you can select the primary subject for the camera to watch by touching the screen. A sequence of up to six smiling shots can be taken without the need to manually press the shutter.
